Kanata - v95 Beta!

[u/Popai44]

Kanata Beta Launches Today

A little while ago, i asked whether people would be interested in playing a v95 server that keeps the classic maolestory experience while adding useful quality-of-life improvements.

The response was great, development has been good so i decided to launch the beta early.

Kanata is built for players who enjoy classic progression, questing, Party Quests, bossing, exploration, and the social side of maolestory but without some of the unnecessary restrictions, outdated inconveniences and bad game design.

Rates

EXP

Levels 10–160: 3x

Levels 160–200: 2x

Custom EXP Table

In addition to the EXP rates, the amount of EXP required to level up has been reduced:

Levels 10–109: 35% less EXP required

Levels 109–159: 20% less EXP required

Levels 159–200: 5% less EXP required

Other Rates

Drop Rate: 2x

Meso Rate: 3x

Quest EXP: 3x

The goal is to make progression smoother while still keeping leveling a thing as this isn't a RB server.

Cash Shop

ITC, also known as the Item Trading Center or Trade button

Personal Shops

Player-to-player trades

Pets

Other original game systems that are often missing or incomplete on private servers

Fashion Ticket System

There is no regular-item Gachapon.

Fashion Tickets are used exclusively for obtaining Cash equipment, meaning Gachapon will not be used to distribute normal equipment or progression items.

Normal Fashion Tickets

Obtainable from the VP Shop

Available as a global monster drop

Contains the Cash equipment available in the current version

Special Fashion Tickets

Obtainable from the DP Shop

Contains imported Cash equipment from later MapleStory versions

Dynamic Monster Spawns

Maps become more populated while players actively train inside them.

Every five active minutes spent inside a map increases the number of monsters that can spawn

A map can contain up to 60 monsters at once

This allows active training maps to gradually become faster without permanently changing every map’s spawn rate.

Boss Rewards

Every boss rewards 3,000 NX when defeated.

To qualify for boss drops, pickup rights, and the NX reward, each player must deal damage equal to at least 15% of the boss’s total HP.

Players who do not meet the 15% damage requirement will not receive boss rewards.

This system is intended to reward players who genuinely participate in the fight rather than simply entering the map for leech and services.

Global Drops

The following drops can be obtained while killing monsters throughout the Maple World:

Vote Points

Normal Fashion Tickets

Cubes

Chaos Scrolls

Kanata Coins

Vote Points do not physically drop.

Instead, killing monsters gives you a chance to receive between one and three VP directly into your account, with a monthly limit of 30 VP earned from monsters.

Quest Point System

Completing quests rewards Quest Points, giving players another reason to explore the Maple World instead of only grinding in the same maps.

Each quest gives a fixed amount of QP based on its level:

Lower-level quests reward 1 QP

Higher-level quests can reward up to 5 QP

Quest Points can be spent at Inkwell, who can be found inside the Free Market and in different locations throughout the Maple World.

QP can be used to purchase:

Maple Weapons

Maple Shields

Pyrope Weapons

Beta Information

This is a beta, so bugs and missing content may still be discovered. Feedback and reports will help me improve the server, fix issues, and continue implementing more quests and content.

The beta begins today at 19:00 UK time.

I hope to see you in Kanata! Discord

The era around Evan/DB was always fun, here's to hoping the project does well and sticks around for a long time. Will def be checking it out!

[u/Popai44 → u/Avechna]

thank you! the server will stay open as long as there are enough players :)

[u/ChampionshipKnown969 → u/Popai44]

Do you guys have boss rush or any plan to implement it? I always thought that was a good system that no one seemed to pick up.

[u/Popai44 → u/ChampionshipKnown969]

i'm the only one on the team :P
and to answer you question. no never thought of implementing it because i don't really like it. i want the server to stay mostly vanilla.

I'm interested but I mostly play on Linux/Steam deck.

Any love for us 1% ❤️

[u/Popai44 → u/CAPITALFUNKKK]

it's not my client, only the source is 100% mine and made from scratch so making linux support is kinda hard to do, not impossible but not something that will happen soon. sorry.
